Room was good yet small for 4 adults but doable for one night stay. Toilet and sink eco-friendly as well as lights in hallways and bathroom that was in room.
Heather, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The staff were great! The building itself was super cool & felt secure! Although not in galway city proper, the area was fantastic & would highly recommend exploring & not too far of a walk! The only thing I would say is that the breakfast was a little pricey for what was included.
Emily, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Wonderful place to stay in Galway! The staff who greeted us on the night we arrived was kind and helpful. Parked car in the small lot the first night and street the next (Sat) night. I’ll stay again next time I visit Galway.

Excellent choice if you want to come to Galway but not be if the more hectic city centre, right by the coast. Space was clean and comfortable and great value for money.

Boutique hostel offers comfy, quiet private rooms

The place was clean, very well kept. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a great deal and food was good. Location was great! Ample street parking. Laundry facilities available for fee with detergent available to use. While still a social place, this hostel seemed to suit the non-traditional hostel goers quite well.

Was a decent hostel, was on the ground level by the door so we heard a lot of in and out noise throughout the night, not ac and was really hot in the room for sleeping with the window open it didn’t help. Room was clean and big, pillows were very thin

Paul, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Fantastic and affordable. The Nest exceeded our expectations. The staff was friendly and helpful. The facilities along with the double room was gorgeous, modern, cozy and clean. Bus stop from town literally at the door step, and the one going towards the city centre only a couple of minutes away. Cannot recommend this enough, would definitely stay again!
Janni, 3-night trip
